I have a 12 week old pup he has been wormed and de flead two weeks ago but he is constantly scratching or biting him self not in the same places he seems to have just started to show a little bit of redness any suggestions or advise would be appreciated

something simular happened to my mates pup it was itching all the time he bathed all his dogs that day. he also washed all the bedding he reckond that was the culprit in this case pup sharing the bedding and their was something in it which the pup picked up only a thought

he bedding him on straw ?


had somehting simlar from my dogs was straw mite causing rash and itch

Thanks for your help no he is not on straw what did you bath your pup with he is at the moment he is in the house

all i remember it was an antiseptic dog shampoo for pups and older dogs

pets at home sell a massive range of shampoo for dogs, could try what the all do here

some duramtex in a waterbottle deluted well and spray him with it

dont want to be a doom and gloom merchant , i had a beddie whippet pup some years ago around the same age .the poor mite within days had scratched itself raw and had lost a great deal of weight . after two days i washed him but this was no use in fact it seemed to worsen . i took him to the vets where they took a skin scraping to confirm his diagnosis , the pup was suffering from demadetic mange which is passed from the bitch to the unborn pups . the other dogs were fine. and the pup was given a couple of injections of ivomec over a couple of weeks . and although he is with my mate now aged seven he hasnt had a reoccurance . if your pup continues to scratch have him checked out . i hope it isnt serious and is just a treatable shampoo job
